The Wednesday title is custom lettering, not a font you can install. It follows the spirit of The Addams Family logo, with a dark, gothic mood. Free gothic fonts like Pirata One, Grenze Gotisch and Metamorphous give a similar feel.
About the Wednesday font
Wednesday is a Netflix series that premiered on November 23, 2022. It follows Wednesday Addams, a character first drawn by cartoonist Charles Addams in his New Yorker cartoons in the late 1930s. The series is set at Nevermore Academy.
The title is hand-drawn display lettering. One logo site says the design is based on the style of The Addams Family movie logo, but the two are not the same. We found no official credit for the artist, so we do not name one.
Be wary of files labeled “official Wednesday font” online. They are fan recreations, and some copy the trademark too closely.
Wednesday fonts and where to get them
Wednesday Gothic FD
This is a commercial font whose listing says it was inspired by the cast metal gate seen in the Netflix series. It is a design inspired by the show, not the title lettering itself. See the listing on MyFonts for price and license.
The logo and trademarks
The Wednesday title and the Addams Family branding are protected. Use them only as the owners allow. Fan art and edits are fine.
Using the look in your own projects
Gothic type can turn into a costume if you use it everywhere. The series pairs its pointed title with very plain sans serif text on screens, and the contrast keeps the look sharp. Try the same for a party sign: gothic for the name, plain for the time and place.
For a school-club poster, a black background with white text and a single purple or red detail is plenty. Add a border with corner cuts for a gate-like frame. If you print on dark paper, check that the thin strokes of a blackletter font stay visible, because very thin lines can vanish.
Remember that colors shift between screens and paper. A deep purple that looks rich on a monitor can print almost black. Print one test sheet before you run fifty copies, and keep a lighter version of the file for dark shirts or banners.

How to make Wednesday-style text
- Black, white and one muted accent. Dark purple or deep red works.
- Choose a gothic font for the title only. Keep other text in a plain serif.
- Add a pale, thin outline around the letters, then a touch of shadow.
- For a school-style crest, place a title in a circle and add initials in the middle.
